(Portait of Krippa)
peace be with you
says he, the wise man
who bends in the wind
and dances in dreams
twirling and twirling till the days end
and days to forfiet
as morbod sons and daughters tease
and kings fetch the ransom
at random and in time
peace be with you
said he who submits
and sighs a thousand sighs
before tears ran down
to blind in tears
when wisdom is lost
and sorrow sees to true to bare
that lies are truer than all
peace be with you
claims he who wants nothing
and struggles still to divide and conquer
lingering on past to pass the present
and present shudders and quiver
in the eyes of a lion
as do mice next to men
and men next to peace
(poem written by Krippa)
Finally, I see what those Magi fear. Even in their wisdom and brilliance, they fear what would seem to be so simple. Perhaps that is why they fear me when I weep in my solace. What charlatans these Magi are, with their circumlocution and beverage. Would they have me as a déclassé. Those craven self righteous fools! Those decorous, bumptious, fools would think themselves asthete will benighted. They, who decry us, those demagogue, charlatans! But enough of them, I am now truly the leader of my troops, the bellwether perhaps. I am Iron Heart now, the general who would fight beside his men, no matter what baleful circumstances approach.
Merzan had put on a spectacular celebration, making huge swirls and even sculptures out of fire in the air. Our capital was a blaze with the Magi’s great display of power. Even in smaller cities, from which some of the Magi had come to put on a celebration. All this was because it was the night before our journey across the Great Divide, to the Atlantica people. Merzan had declared this day a national holiday and that all major cities should have at least one Magi so that all of the country could enjoy the amazing lights and fire shows, dubbed fireworks, along with crafts from all over the nation. Not only that but it would be a tax free day, to promote the growth of the arts along with the economy. My king Merzan had out done himself yet again. He even went so far as to join in the festival, not only lending his magical skill but his voice, and despite his blousy appearance he sang rather canorously. I myself painted one of my greatest art works so far.
(one of the many fire sculputres)
(Krippa's painting)
But now we have marched into Atlantica, across the land bridge they had made for us. I was surprised to see them cheer for us, perhaps these exiles had more of an attachment to their homeland than I thought, but still I will remain degage for I am Iron Heart, nothing may shake me.
(The land bridge created by Atlantic Geomancers)
I met with their generals and laid out my plan plainly, we would crush the New Atlantis, if not by numbers then by strategy and tact. With the defensive power of the Geomancers and the offensive power of our fire Magi nothing would could stop us. Already the Lomba Riders had begun raids on those earth dwelling fools, while we massed our armies, both the Atlantica and Gorin, standing together. We would severe every limb down to the dactyl, victory is the only thing that will matter. Our fires will burn them to the ground!
(The planned troop advances by Krippa)
Yet I weep now, to even think of what horrors a wait us on the battle field. Perhaps it is simply my acrimony, or that I would abject to the slaughter of men just like me. Even with this iron heart of mine. If only I could find some cache and dream of things other than these baleful nightmare. Or would that make me a coward, a bootless coward at that. Would only beau geste and blandish talk only fill my mind if I succumb to this disease and become some decorous cosset, bell-esprit.
I, the captious Iron Heart, become a fool? Ha, pride would kill me before I allowed that!
ooc took me forever ahhh i hate you darn computer, 3 times i had to rewrite it!!

-Captain of Hawaii's colony ship, just before setting the vessel out onto open sea.
Great celebrations are occurring all over Hawaii! The titanic colony ship, which has been under construction for centuries and generations, is finally complete. The ship, christened 'Discovery', is the largest man-made object (other than Atlantis) to ever exist. After filling up with thousands of Hawaiians, it began travelling west. It has aided colonization and exploration greatly.
A serpent rider based off the colony ship discovered an island civilization comparable to Hawaii. On the island of OTL New Guinea, a race calling themselves the Vol'kiss have been discovered. They wield a powerful form of geomancy, specializing themselves in the control of volcanoes. The Vol'kiss were respectful to the explorer, and he returned to the colony ship to report his discovery.
(+1 loyalty level)
The Hyperboreans' attempts to convince native tribes around the Sea of Voormithadreth to join them have been wonderfully successful. A major tribe has pledged allegiance to the Lord in Green, and has provided Hyperborea with a city. More minor tribes have either agreed to live peacefully with the Hyperboreans or emigrated to the cities.
An attempt to discover the whereabouts of the lost Horror have provided Hyperborea with pleasing news. According to friendly Ontarian natives, the beast is somewhere in Quebec, ravaging the various tribes living there. An attempt to catch it was cancelled, for the Lord in Green wished to see just how long it would continue its rampage through enemy lands.
(+1000 population)
Elgovia's expansion through central North America continues unhindered. They have begun trading with the Hyperboreans to the north, through OTL Lake Michigan.
Dur Khaz' citizens are beginning to grow angry with their leader's inaction towards the jungle necromancers. The attacks are growing fiercer and fiercer, and the casualties are becoming too large to possibly be ignored. Rebellious leaders are popping up all over the country, and their followers threaten to overthrow Khaz the Defiler if no immediate action is taken.
(-1000 population, -50 infantry, -50 archers, -1 loyalty)
The majestic treeships of Avalon are quickly spreading knowledge of their nation all over the northern Atlantic. They have also slowly expanded to claim almost all of their home island plus a small port city half way to Gorin.
The Gorin have abandoned Dreadmire isle, which has returned to its normal, peace ful state. And once again, the Pyromancers of Gorin march to war. The Geomantic Atlanticans rose a land bridge from the depths of the channel seperating the two nations, and more of Gorin's forces cross over every minute. Gorin's considerable army raced down to the beseiged capital of Nanta as soon as it was on the European mainland. They were in a race against time. How long would Atlantica hold out?
That the geomancers of Atlantica had to go north to raise a land bridge proved to be a costly mistake. New Atlantis, realising that the enemy had lost its magical presence, wasted no time in blocking the river, flooding Nanta. They took the flooded city with a force of Golems and infantry. In the palace was found the drowned body of General Karrak. His body was sliced apart and thrown into the receding floodwaters to be washed away.
It was then that Gorin arrived.
The New Atlantean army was tired by their battle, but not unprepared for a counterattack. They set up their army on the walls of Nanta, and put up a valiant defense. Being outpowered magically, they could not flood the river again, or efficiently counter flying Lomba riders. Golems, who were largely immune to Lomba fire, shot down many by throwing sharp pieces of themselves. But the Gorin War Wizards broke the life-giving spells powering several Golems. After the defenses were worn down by incessant Pyromantic spells, the Atlantean cavalry broke into the city and slaughtered the remaining New Atlantean defenders. Their only survivors escaped back over the river on the backs of the remaining Golems.
The Atlanticans are now badly damaged and leaderless, but they have not had their fighting spirit quenched. They remained in Nanta to repair the damage and get the city running again, while Gorin's Lomba riders launched sproadic raids on the New Atlantean lines. While their numbers are diminished, but the New Atlanteans are nowhere near admitting defeat. They now seeking the aid of Atlantis itself, although the mighty nation has been neutral in all conflicts since the terrible war with Ur.
(-200 Atlantican infantry, -150 New Atlantean archers, -100 New Atlantean infantry, -10 New Atlantean Golems, -150 Gorin infantry, -10 Lomba Riders, +1 Gorin loyalty)
In Germania, beautiful tree cities are appearing as the population continues to grow. The druids they sent to investigate Dreadmire have returned, and say that they have sensed colossal power within it, not bound to any particular type of magic like humans are. Like everyone else who has seen the island, they believe that humans, for their own sake, should not set foot on it. The Germanians were angered by the creation of the Gorin/Atlantica land bridge, and claim that it is responsible for the recent drop in temperatures by blocking off a warm current.
The nation of Helvetia, in central europe, has risen to become a recognized state. People have traveled great distances to see their incredible unicorns.
Karthage's exploration of the Mediterranean is now complete, and its sailors have pressed the borders of the known world out further and further. They have now met all of the Black Sea nations and Gorin. Their further exploration was put on hold by an impassible isthmus just to Gorin's south.
Karthage has also established colonies on the island of Crete. It has made trade with Ur considerably easier.
The young nation of Balaeria has claimed some of southern Gaul and Iberia as its own, as New Atlantean citizens abandon the threatened lands.
Illyria has begun the creation of a massive jewel, the Chaos Crystal. When it is complete, its energies will empower many ordinary with powerful magical abilities.
The Tripolye/Scythia war is racing towards its end. Tripolean attempts to set barbaric Scythians against each other have failed, as the chieftains understand the situation well enough to know not to attack each other. Tripoleans launched several raids arainst western Scythia, but found the land deserted, and all of the fields salted and burned. The main Tripolean army tried to slip behind enemy lines in galleys, but they were spotted. They outran the Scythian ships, but lost their element of surprise. The Tripolean army, led by Voevoda Kiy himself, landed at the Scythia/Ur border and stormed their way north, annihilating all resistance. Within a month, they had completely surrounded the capital of Azov itself. They broke in after a brief siege, taking significant losses, but nowhere near as bad as the Scythians. In the center of the city was Warlord Vargas and his last defenders. They fought viciously, but Tripolye, with its superior numbers, won. Vargas was personally decapitated by Kiy, but not before cutting of the Tripolean leader's left arm.
After the fall of Azov, Scythia collapsed in on itself. A few Scythians fled to the northeast, but many surrendered to the Tripolean army. The tunnel fiends were mysteriously absent from the final days of the war. Knowledgeable Tripoleans believe that the death of the last Scythian geomancers freed the tunnel fiends from their service.
(+5000 Tripolean population- Scythians, -100 Tripolean infantry, -50 Tripolean cavalry, +2 Tripolean loyalty, Organized nation of Scythia destroyed)
Songhai's support of Abyssinia in its war has ceased. It has fallen into a state of anarchy due to the ineffectiveness of its ruler. The rebels hope to establish a republic, a far more fair system of government than the current harsh monarchy.
(-10 Great Lions, -100 infantry, -100 archers, -1 loyalty)
Abyssinia's fortunes in the war could be described as one small step forward, one giant leap backward. Their skilled use of magic has done considerable harm to Khemri's cities by causing storms and letting light shine on normally dark lands. But their success ends there. Khemri has enough necromancers with its army to cancel out most magical attacks, so Abyssinia has often been forced to fight with its conventional army. No cities have traded hands, for most of the confrontations have occured along the uninhabited banks of the upper Nile. Currently, Khemri's army has reached OTL Khartoum, but are being held back by constant whirlwinds started by Abyssinia's priests.
Inside the rememants of Abyssinia's army, something strange is happening. People are mysteriously disappearing, and blame is being pointed at several officers. At one point, a man was found cannibalizing the body of one of his soldiers. Giving an evil laugh, he transformed back into his natural form- that of a vampire- and fled. This event has set many Abyssinians against each other. Another troubling problem is that rocs, after killing and eating vampires, begin to become slightly vampiric themselves. Fortunately, ony a few suffered this problem, and they were sent off on a suicide raid against Khemri. It is now known that the only safe way for a Roc to kill a Vampire is to rip it apart with its talons.
(-100 Abyssinian infantry, -10 rocs, -1 Abyssinian loyalty, -10 Khemri Vampires, -50 Khemri infantry, -500 Khemri population)
In the far south of Africa, a warrior nation has been born. Based around a fortress-capital at OTL Victoria Falls, these people have quickly consolidated their claim on the lands around them. No people have yet been met who are brave enough to stand up to them.
Ur's retaking of its former lands is coming to a halt. It has run into new nations on many of its frontiers. But its people now know the great feeling of being part of an expanding nation, and they aren't going to give up that power willingly.
The Indus Empire is expanding up into the great mountain range to their north. Their explorers have made contact with Vietnam and China, and their navy knows all of the coast from Arabia to the Bay of Bengal. Also, they have begun construction in a tremendous forge in their capital of Mohenjo-Daro. Few can imagine the tremendous weapons that this magical forge will produce when it is complete.
The massive Mongol Horde has spilled over the borders of China. The Chinese, who had been fearing an attack, were not totally unprepared militarily. But they were terribly unprepared for combating the Mongol's magic. By teleporting into gatehouses and secure areas, the Mongols worked their way through all defense. Only one Chinese fortress still stands north of the Huang He. The outnumbered Chinese know that a direct counterattack would be suicide, so they can do little more than launch cavalry raids against Mongol positions. Other than that, they can only remain in their fortresses and pray that they will swept away in the next Mongol wave.
(-200 Mongol cavalry, +2000 population, +1 turn of production on Tower of Karakorum, +1 loyalty, -100 Chinese infantry, -150 Chinese archers, -50 Chinese cavalry, -2000 population, -2 loyalty)
In the frozen Nation of Antarctica, great celebrations are occuring because of the completion of the ice palace. Several penguin dignitaries also attended the ceremony, and have all suggested that trade routes are to be set up between them and Antarctica.
The Penguin nation of Ross has discovered new lands to the north, and settled them. Strange creatures, very similar to the Antarcticans, have been discovered, though these primitives had no magic.
Whew! That's all. I'll do story bonuses and stats later.

The streets of Shanghai were abuzz with activity, men and women wishpering and talking loudly along the sides of the road as numerous armed horsemen marched along the sides. Mongol Horsemen, Koke scattered amongest them, rode proudly surrounded by the hostile gaurd, a parley flag waving up above the continigent.
The simple farmers and traders within the city wishpered exicitedly, having heard stories and tales of the war in the North, but hearing nothing concrete. The stotic Mongols merely gave the assembled citizens a passing glance, before continueing on in their journey towards the imperial palace.
The lead Mongol, a young looking Koke, smirked superiorly at the assembled masses, his bow strung along his back. The Chinese gaurd continued to lead them through the city streets before coming to a large gate, gaurded by many archers and infantry. The gate gaurd stepped forward pompusly, declaring something sharply in Chinese. The lead Koke merely smiled, pointing up above at the Parley flag. The gate gaurd glared for a moment, before barking out another long string of Chinese.
The lead Koke smiled for a moment, before responding in perfect Chinese. "Why are we here, you ask? We're here to deliever a message." The Koke extended his hand, holding within his hand a large rolled piece of dried deer skin.

To the gracious King of Ur. It would be in the interests of both our nations if peace would continue between Ur and her offspring nation of ourselves. Surely without your leadership our people might not have gain control of magic, writing, even the wheel no matter how much we understood the concept of farming and had argiculturized ourselves. As such we wish to offer that a trade route be set up between our border as to allow more readily shipment of supplies between both our nations. As a result of this, both our nations shall ensure not only peace, but prosperity for generations to come.

These nations are to us but squabbling children. They abandoned us, and we will not aid those who have done so. Their trials are for them to face.
To: Gorin and Atlantica
From: New Atlantis
Here is our peace offer: We will pull out of occupied Atlantica, and all hostilities will be ended. And don't forget that Atlantica started this conflict by declaring war on Ur. We merely came to the assistance of our friends.
(Yes, I know that Ur fought Atlantis. But that was over a MILLENNIUM ago. Amends have been made)
Any magical unit can be destroyed by magic. Lombas can be extinguished, and Golems can have their life giving spell cancelled.
